The US hasn't seen a human bird flu case in 3 months. Experts are wondering why

Examples of Terrible HHS Priorities (2025)

Clowns in charge. Or Saboteurs. May 28th, 2025. US cancels more than $700 million funding for Moderna bird flu vaccine An HHS spokesperson said that after a comprehensive internal review, the agency had determined that the project did not meet the scientific standards or safety expectations required for continued federal investment. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/us-cancels-more-700-million-funding-moderna-bird-flu-vaccine-2025-05-28/ The ONLY redeeming quality of this health administration is Jim O’Neill and him maybe pushing anti-aging research. So sure, have your way to try and change this massive Rube Goldberg machine without the best science - argue about seed oils, talc, UPF’s, rather than pushing GLP-1 agonists and cholesterol lowering drugs to the masses. It looks like they squandered the opportunity and no change will happen from changing SNAP benefits and giving dietary guidelines, no one takes these people seriously except the 0.1% on X…

Looks like the US is interested in importing our potentially infected ostriches…

This post is not to be taken politically, that is not my intent. My intent is to illustrate a potential unintended consequence.

Many countries implemented meat, seafood, and crop specific import restrictions based on various types of health safety issues over the decades. Think EU and US beef for example. We are an interdependent global economy, regardless of what some people think.

And they say they have a responsibility to follow international guidelines on how to handle infections in order to preserve Canada’s agricultural industry and public health.

B.C. ostriches won't 'necessarily' be killed, says Canada's agriculture minister

Yes, it’s consistent. The most harmful unintended consequences come from those convinced they are the smartest in the room.

It sounds like RFK and the team have decided that the risk of an Avian / Bird flu pandemic has been overblown, and saving money is the priority. I’m sure they know more than the scientists…
